Spiky cloud I saw today

Not against what you're saying here but in case it was missed he was calling his coworker a fully ignorant buffoon, no one here

Again, even with the exact formula for this, it wouldn't confirm how much power you were exposed to because there are so many unknowns. If it brings you peace of mind, the fact that you feel okay and your issues are improving is a good sign. It's also good that he didn't point a full 400mw...

It's good that you've seen a doctor already as we can't give medical advice. Usually with those kaleidoscope attachments the power of each beam is a fraction of the total power but the beams near the center will still be the strongest. On top of that it's hard to tell exactly how powerful it was...

I have the 200mw 405nm and 50mw 520nm pocket. They pack a punch, my 405nm is 30mw overspec and does a good deal of burning when focused, the 520nm is right on spec. These lasers get hot fast (within 1 duty cycle) and drain the battery fairly quickly but that's bound to happen packing all that...

Link to the caps on Amazon?

It's the 304 that's the issue. If you invest a little more for one of their signature pointers you most likely won't be disappointed. You get what you pay for, I have 3 Sanwus that I'm happy with

Assuming you're looking for a preassembled pointer I would go for a 300mw 635nm "Challenger II" or "Guardian" from Sanwu, with OD5+ 600-694nm glasses from laserglow (a must). These pointers use single mode diodes for high beam quality+low divergence, and they're more than powerful enough for...

As a general rule of thumb, wavelengths closer to 555nm will be more visible if other variables are held constant. The most widely available wavelength that's considered red and closest to 555 would be 635nm. Then from there, the more powerful it is the more visible it will be but consider the...

The OD6 goggles were and still are the correct choice honestly. The goggles are most important in indoor, close-range situations including burning where the light is reflecting off of surfaces relatively close to your eyes. The fact that you can't see the (color or beam of the) laser means the...

My guess is a smaller/tidier focus point and steady guided movement by a machine rather than by hand. Also single mode beam profiles will make for a more efficient cut than the multimode profile of those high powered blues. Singlemode is like cutting something with a thin sharp saw blade...

The whole point of a politics discussion is to create a dedicated space where people can speak their different political opinions, even if things get heated. They're opinions. So the minute you go around saying one person's opinion is common sense and the other is in opposition to that you just...

Good luck, be (very) patient and keep your eye out. I managed to find a 50mw from a member here only 2 months ago and wrote a review about it you can find in my sig. Then just last month someone from Germany sold another one on eBay and the winning bid was around 590 euros. They're expensive...

What's the wavelength?

These setups are so impressive to me, nice laser art :)

Anyone know the thread diameter on the phosphorce? Assuming it just screws on

Laserglow offers many 532mw <5mw consumer pointers if you really want

Wolfram everything good?
